Synonyms: Lichenostomus unicolor; Ptilotis unicolor

Wikipedia Abstract

The white-gaped honeyeater (Stomiopera unicolor) is a species of bird in the Meliphagidae family.It is endemic to Australia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical mangrove forests. The white-gaped honeyeater was previously placed in the genus Lichenostomus but was moved to Stomiopera after a molecular phylogenetic analysis published in 2011 showed that the original genus was polyphyletic.
